Mindmapping, a better way to map ideas

Mind maps can be used for many different tasks – including to-do lists, brainstorming, holiday planning, research, writing, project management – and in many different environments – school, meetings, workspace.

I was introduced to Mind Mapping software a couple years ago, and absolutely love it. Essentially its a really wonderful and easy way to get a smattering of ideas down quickly. If you find yourself having notes all over the place around a given topic, I highly recommend taking a look at this.

This is what a sample map looks like.

This is by no means an exhastive list of Mind Mapping software, but just a couple that I find myself using.

For the  Mac I recommend MindNode which comes in both free and pro/pay versions.
For cross-platform I recommend Freemind, which as its name implies is free
